CBS Morning News quoted Bernie Sanders (from a rally on the weekend in Brooklyn) that he condemned someone who had an allowance of $200,000/year. Bernie only had 25 cents (CBS News did not give the period for the allowance). Clearly John F Kennedy and Robert Kennedy, being the children of Joseph Kennedy, had a very privileged life. They had tutors and were educated at Harvard. So if Bernie condemns Donald Trump, then he must also condemn the Kennedy boys and their 'spoiled' upbringing. It is unclear how much of the books Why England Slept and Profiles in Courage that John...

The National Security Agency has quietly shut down a system that analyzes logs of Americans’ domestic calls and texts, according to a senior Republican congressional aide, halting a program that has touched off disputes about privacy and the rule of law since the Sept. 11 attacks. The agency has not used the system in months, and the Trump administration might not ask Congress to renew its legal authority, which is set to expire at the end of the year, according to the aide, Luke Murry, the House minority leader’s national security adviser. “Technical irregularities” had contaminated the agency’s database with...

OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma LP is exploring filing for bankruptcy to address potentially significant liabilities from roughly 2,000 lawsuits alleging the drugmaker contributed to the deadly opioid crisis sweeping the United States, people familiar with the matter said on Monday. The potential move shows how Purdue and its wealthy owners, the Sackler family, are under pressure to respond to mounting litigation accusing the company of misleading doctors and patients about risks associated with prolonged use of its prescription opioids.

“‘Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy’” (Matthew 5:7). When we are merciful and we receive mercy, we experience God’s cycle of mercy. God is merciful to us by saving us through Christ; in obedience we are merciful to others; and God in faithfulness gives us even more mercy, pouring out blessing for our needs and withholding severe chastening for our sin. But only those who are merciful qualify to receive mercy. David said of the Lord, “With the kind You show Yourself kind” (2 Sam. 22:26). Yet James says, “For judgment will be merciless to one who...

From an op-ed piece in Monday’s Roanoke (Virginia) Times: Last month, federal agents in Maryland arrested a United States Coast Guard officer and said he was plotting to assassinate Democratic members of Congress, prominent television journalists and others. The officer, Lt. Christopher Hasson, apparently inspired by a right-wing Norwegian terrorist who slaughtered 77 people in 2011, stockpiled firearms and ammunition and researched locations around Washington to launch his attacks, according to investigators. Fortunately, the F.B.I. arrested him before he could act.When news came of Hasson’s arrest, President Trump– who has no problems expressing the fiercest outrage at Democrats and even...

Monday on MSNBC’s “Live,” Breitbart News’ senior editor-at-large Joel Pollak discussed President Donald Trump’s plan for an executive order “requiring colleges and universities to support free speech if they want federal research dollars.” When asked if government intervention can change cultural problems on campuses, Pollack said, “I think the real answers are yes and no. So yes insofar as universities that have these speech codes, especially public universities, really shouldn’t have them—they’re arguably anti-constitutional. And as federal taxpayers, we should not want our money going to universities that do this kind of thing, especially if they are public universities. So...

There are three things I know unequivocally to be true: 1) every word in the Word of God, i.e., the Holy Bible, is true, except of course for the bastardized versions of scripture; 2) God is not a globalist; and 3) the Republican elites and the Republican hierarchy will either help the enemy or sit passively on the sidelines as the progressive machine works to destroy our way of life. Republican leadership counts on the blind ideology of the grass roots, which they reward with what amounts to a pat on the head. The grass-tops are rewarded with an occasional...

As I’ve been saying right along, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar is a disgrace to her constituents in Minneapolis and the rest of the Fifth District. In office just a little over a month, she has already elicited a resolution that will come to the House floor tomorrow. The draft resolution condemns anti-Semitic statements of the kind Omar has recently trafficked in (embedded below via Scribd). I tracked down the draft of the resolution obtained by Politico and linked in Politico Playbook. The Star Tribune covers the story short of the resolution here. The draft resolution does not call out Omar...

<p>Tennis great Martina Navratilova until recently had long been coronated as a social justice trailblazer. She was one of the first marquee celebrity athletes to come out as gay, and then to advocate lesbian issues in and out of sports. But suddenly the icon seems out of step with her progressive legend status.</p>

“Can I put some of your blush on?” my six-year-old daughter Penny asks, expertly climbing onto the bathroom counter and sliding next to me. “Sure,” I answer, focusing on a steady hand as I not-so-expertly apply eyeliner to my top eyelid. We sit in companionable silence while I apply a subtle amount of makeup for my night out with some girlfriends, and she cakes on the blush until it achieves the exact effect she’s looking for. A few years ago, my kids started to take an interest in my makeup, a very small collection of tubes and compacts that I...

Pick the right entry point and you're already on your way to enjoying a fun, long-term shooting hobby. For a new shooter, buying their first handgun can be an intimidating experience. What brand, what style, revolver or semiauto, and most of all what caliber? Most people jump straight into picking out their favorite handgun without thinking about what caliber it is. Caliber choice is critical for new shooters. Too much gun can be a handful; too little and you might be under gunned. Beginners looking for a firearm gun to do. For example, a new shooter may desire a firearm...

The unusual indictment of Scripture against fallen humanity may be seen in the sad conclusion that “All men are liars” (Ps. 116:11). Lying is a sin endemic to fallen human nature, and one that is not instantly cured by regeneration. It is the character trait that clearly distinguishes us from God. God is a covenant keeper; He speaks no falsehood. We are covenant breakers, spreading lies even in our promises. It is Satan who is called the “father of lies.” Sadly, he has sired many children. We are all by nature his offspring in this regard. It was the serpent...

Something remarkable happened to John Ryder on Thursday. He got a vote in the Senate. Getting confirmed by the Senate for a part-time board position on the Tennessee Valley Authority—a minor corporate agency based in Knoxville that only holds four public sessions a year—didn’t use to be remarkable. It should have been even less so for Mr. Ryder, an accomplished Memphis lawyer whose nomination was uncontroversial. Yet Mr. Ryder waited 388 days for a vote—... His nomination arrived in the Senate in early February 2018. By May he’d completed his confirmation hearing and received a unanimous committee vote. He then...
